These chairs are great! I must admit I did not look at the close-up picture of the chair before I purchased them so I was very taken aback when I saw a lot of blue in the cushions. However, when they are set up, the neutral colour really comes out and the blue accent threads throughout blend in. Fairly easy to set up and comfortable. Lower backs on the chair so definitely not something you could sit in for an extended period of time but as an addition to your formal living room, they would be great.
